ABOUT THE FILM

Synopsis:
Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on—for everyone around her, at least. When a beloved friend visits on the brink of a major milestone, Agnes begins to realize just how stuck she’s been, and starts to find a way forward.

Shot in Ipswich, Massachusetts, Sorry, Baby is a quietly triumphant story about reclaiming one’s footing after the ground has been yanked out from under you. Unabashedly frank and unexpectedly funny, the film offers a fresh and deeply human take on living with an experience you can’t simply “get over.”

In an auspicious triple-threat debut, writer-director-star Eva Victor upends traditional narratives of trauma by focusing not on spectacle, but on the interior, often unseen act of mending oneself. As Agnes—a smart, sensitive, and wry young professor in an overcast New England college town where she was once a graduate student—Victor captures the absurdities, pleasures, confusions, and possibilities of a life just beginning, even as it is shaped by profound disruption.

With friends drifting away into distant futures, Agnes remains in the town where she once thrived and later hit rock bottom after a shocking betrayal. Eschewing formulaic postmortems of violence, Sorry, Baby unfolds as a vibrant comedy-drama that embraces complexity, resilience, and humor without turning away from the trauma at its core.

Produced by Barry Jenkins, Adele Romanski, and Mark Ceryak of Pastel (Moonlight, Aftersun), Sorry, Baby won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and marks the arrival of a bold and unforgettable new voice in American cinema.
